An aviation expert explained why the Russian Armed Forces continue to shoot down Ukrainian aircraft six months after the start of the JMD

July 18 2022 45

Russian troops in the course of a special operation continue to destroy aircraft of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation reports about 6-8 affected sides weekly. At the same time, Ukrainian aviation retains a certain potential almost six months after the start of hostilities.

According to an aviation expert, the author of the Fighterbomber telegram channel, judging by the number of destroyed aircraft and air defense systems, in the early days of the Air Defense Forces of Ukraine, the Ukrainian Air Force was able to save most of its fleet.

On February 24, a near-zero number of serviceable aircraft was destroyed at enemy airfields, which, in turn, once again confirms the assumption that the Ukrainians were well aware of the day and hour of the start of the special operation

- noted the analyst.

Thus, legitimate questions arise about how Kyiv could have known in advance about upcoming events, why Moscow did not correct its actions in this case, whether other types of troops and weapons were withdrawn from the strike of the RF Armed Forces, and what was the real effectiveness of the first strike of Russian divisions.

Meanwhile, the day before, a group of Russian hackers RaHDit unveiled data on approximately 2,5 thousand citizens of the Russian Federation working for the Ukrainian intelligence services. One of the group members, on condition of anonymity through the media, advised these people to voluntarily surrender.

  Yes, there were negotiations with the Bulgarians and Poles about the transfer of dryers and one moment, which so far ended in nothing. The rest of the countries simply do not have Soviet aircraft.
  Now the truth has begun to talk about the transfer of F15 F16. When this will actually happen is hard to say.

The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation reports about 6-8 affected sides weekly.

But they never spoke about airfields, as if they did not need to be destroyed. Well, the fact that the SVO began without thinking it through, or a betrayal took place, is already understood by many.

  We will never be re-educated! And your post is a clear confirmation of this. Read M. Bulgakov. In his "Heart of a Dog" it is intelligibly told where the devastation is located. Stop looking for enemies. And enough trivial bungling to call betrayal.

  What do you mean by "destruction of airfields"? Repair of the runway takes a couple of days and the airfield is ready for operation again. So it's a waste of expensive rockets.

  steelmaker. The Americans bombed everything around the concentration camps, but they never hit the plants and factories where the prisoners worked, for the reason that part of the shares of the plants and factories belonged to the Americans and the naglitsy. It was considered property that could not be bombed. They didn't even bomb the concentration camps owned by the SS. Can shares of airfields belong to Russian oligarchs? You will bomb such an airfield and then until the end of your life, that you yourself, that the children will be slaves to this gang.

  "Friendly fire" in war is by no means uncommon. You can look for examples yourself in tyrnets and books on the history of wars. Of course, each such case should be thoroughly investigated, but no one has yet succeeded in completely excluding such cases (even in spite of the "friend or foe" systems being introduced everywhere).

    Don't write more nonsense. War is not an air show. According to your logic, Russian military aviation should be in the tricolor palette? And the Americans - in stripes with a star on their foreheads? And how, in this case, to distinguish a Swedish plane from a Ukrainian one? Urya-patriotism is already starting to go off scale.

    This is a reality - just all the previous time from the sofas they were cheerfully talking about 3 maize and 5 hang gliders remaining in service with the Armed Forces of Ukraine. In fact, they didn't waste any time either.
    -It's like the same thing - Europe and Ukraine are running out of weapons - but at the same time they are driving weapons to Ukraine in wagons, and the Armed Forces of Ukraine are actively hammering at civilian objects, not counting shells.
    - It is stupid to rejoice at empty words about empty warehouses - in reality, the warehouses are not even empty, judging by the generous shelling of cities and towns by the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Screams only to the public. And they still have good stocks.

It was necessary to start with crushing blows on the highest power infrastructure, on the main headquarters, airfields, transport hubs, bridges, means of communication and control. And here, the Russian leadership, they wanted to be kind, they decided to wear white gloves. Now let's dig..

  Should have started
  
  It was necessary to start back in 2014, when the statehood of Ukraine was practically destroyed, when the army was demoralized, when tens of millions of people loyal to it were waiting for Russia. And if they started now, then it was necessary to start with a game of peepers, wait for Kyiv to strike, so that the same West would not have the slightest reason to accuse Russia of aggression. Of course, the West would not help us in this case either, but at least it would not interfere (at least openly).

    If you wait for Kyiv to strike, then you could find yourself in the position of the USSR after June 22, and Putin did not want to repeat the mistakes of Stalin, who relied on the Non-Aggression Pact and the Friendship Treaty.

      Why are you repeating myths born by pseudo-historians. Stalin was, despite all his shortcomings, a hardened realist and pragmatist (unlike the revolutionary romantic Trotsky). He knew perfectly well that there would be a war, but in every possible way he delayed its beginning, desperately trying to buy the time that was so necessary for the rearmament and total restructuring of the army to begin, at least until 1942. It was precisely this goal that the signing of the Non-Aggression Pact served (by the way, the USSR signed an agreement with the Reich the last of the European countries after the failure of all attempts to create a European anti-Hitler coalition). That is why he most severely demanded compliance with all its provisions, so as not to provoke Germany. Up to the point that for the word "fascist" it was possible to thunder on the bunk. Up to the point that the last echelons with supplies under the agreement crossed the border towards Germany on the night of the attack on the USSR. There is much more to write about this, but I hope you yourself can find the facts confirming this.

        You directly compare Putin and Stalin. You directly compare their actions and mistakes. There is only one difference between their actions - Stalin did not have enough time to rearm in 1941, and Putin did not have the courage (although there were all the possibilities for this, including the permission of the State Duma to use the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation outside the country) to resolve the Ukrainian issue in 2014 .

        In 2014, the Russian army was in a semi-disassembled state, there were not as many modern weapons as now. If at 08 they managed with difficulty with Georgia, then at 14 Ukraine would have been too tough at all.
        
        Some say that courage was not enough, others say that caution prevailed.

      Let's pretend that your insult was not there.
      You should not learn jingoistic chants by heart, but at least read something more serious than comics (yes, comics are read, not watched). Then you would know that the creation of an anti-Hitler coalition would have been impossible in principle if Stalin, knowing about Germany’s military preparations, had launched a preemptive strike (in the current realities, he would have launched a NVO). And the entire "civilized" West with a clear conscience would form another anti-Soviet coalition.

        You're right. But history exists in order to learn from the mistakes of one's own and those of others. And learning without an analysis of what was and what could be is impossible. So, the particle "would" is quite appropriate. I hope you understand this.

  And for whom was the secret after the meeting with stuttering. Most likely, Western intelligence knew the time of the start of the operation. You saw how many "respected" Russians went over the hill. Incomprehensible disappointment. Remember, our intelligence reported 4 am on June 22. Learn history, there will be fewer disappointments.

Khokhols were being prepared long before February 24th.
They took inventory of everything they had left of the USSR. Repairable or repaired themselves, or taken to the repair of Bulgaria, Romania, Poland. Several dozen aircraft were also transferred there in advance. From there, they bought or accepted as a gift a certain amount of old junk that can still fly. This is how it pops up in different places.

Not 6-8 daily, but every other day, most often they shoot down one, less often two, very rarely three. They can take off in Poland, they could fix old and decommissioned ones. There were a lot of Soviet weapons in the Warsaw Pact countries. Well, what about betrayal, etc. after we all surrendered our USSR, to say ...

  Moskal 55. They write here that it was necessary to first kill everyone from the vertical circulation. But you can't do it. After all, as far as it was written in the Russian media, Stalin forbade killing Hitler after the meeting between him and Hitler in Lvov in 1943. He, as it is written, even wanted to surrender to Hitler, but Hitler refused, and this was after the Red Army, in spite of Stalin, beat the Nazis and Bandera in the tail and mane. The American British forbade Hitler to seize the USSR and make peace with the USSR. Hitler had to surrender after complete annihilation and also after complete suicide. He was given an old ampoule of cyanide, which was inactive, and a pistol with a crooked barrel. It is interesting to read that the Rusinform Bureau does not lag behind the Ukrinform Bureau and even steps on their heels. It's so interesting how the song of the 60s in Sverdlovsk - relatives sleep toads for them, dream ... I don’t remember further, but the Sverdlovsk recruits of those years should know this song. Sing the rest, please!
